Yeah I've never got that kind of bad vibe from him. I also left out the part where he even touched on how privileged his life is and how grateful he is for that or how he said him being harassed for being transphobic is nothing like what LGBTQ+ people have to go through.
It's really shitty as it'd be cool to have someone like him showing up randomly on Lemmy like other celebs kind of do on Reddit (Arnold Schwarzenegger only one coming to mind at the moment).
Maybe he will give it another shot someday but I guess I don't see there ever not being a huge group of people waiting to harass him.
No one claims that being harassed for being falsely accused of transphobia comes anywhere close to what someone else may or may not have to go through. These two things do not have to be equal for them both to be bad, and acknowledging that the former has a negative impact on the movement for trans acceptance does not in any way take away from that movement.
Yeah just figured I'd mention it since it became a bit more relevant to include that he wrote it.
I agree with you.
